Join us this episode as we jump into the fascinating world of blackwater diving, where expert scuba divers plunge into the open ocean at night in order to catch a glimpse of our favourite deep sea faces. We talk with expert blackwater divers to find out what it’s like to venture into the open ocean at night, when deep sea species rise from the depths to feed. How do they capture such remarkable photographs in such challenging conditions? What are some of their favourite species to encounter? What is it like to see bioluminescence in person and how is this related to science and the discovery of new species? Whether you’re a pro-diver yourself or prefer to stay dry, this episode is jam-packed with interesting stories and insights into this poorly understood environment.

Thanks again for tuning in, we’ll deep-see you next time!

https://www.armatusoceanic.com/podcast/051-australian-deep

Did you know that 70% of Australian waters are deeper than 1000m? Now that’s a lot of deep sea! We hear from the Minderoo-UWA Deep Sea Research Centre’s deputy director, Dr Todd Bond about the huge array of marine geographical features and biodiversity in Australia’s waters. Plus, Alan clears up some ongoing Australian-isms that have left him confused.

We also check in with our resident squid expert - Dr Kat Bolstad after the highly anticipated Squidtember comes to a close. Did you vote for your favourite squid, and if so, how did they score? We reckon Alan’s recent videos from the Tonga Trench (that he teased last episode) might’ve had a subtle influence…

Expect to hear all about how the colossal deep-sea expedition is going, including the time Alan piloted a submarine to 2000m, stumbled upon a rarely seen deep-sea squid, and made poor Steve’s life difficult (the onboard media guy). Life on land is also just as chaotic as Alan has been jetsetting all over the world, with his shiny new OBE medal safely tucked in his backpack pocket, plus a very mysterious scroll from the king arrived and is now living proudly in his downstairs loo.

For those who really love the show, Alan shared with us pictures of all the species he found in the Tonga trench, and this extended video version of the episode is available now via our Patreon (and will be made publicly available on September 20th).

As it turns out, returning to life on land after a mega deep-sea expedition takes a lot of work! So, whilst we aren't quite ready to share with you our Tonga Trench special, here is a mini-episode to keep you busy until we get back to you with episode 50.

We're talking all about SQUIDTEMBER with long-time friend of the show, Kat Bolstad from the AUT Squid Squad. Which squid will reign supreme come the end of the month? It's up to you to decide! You can find the links to vote, plus all of the other festivities here on the AUT Twitter page. 

Thom and Kat also tell us a little about their latest project... attempting to flirt with deep-sea squid. Light-up paddles are involved.

Thanks so much for bearing with us whilst we get episode 50 together for you, we can't wait for you to hear it soon!

Thanks again for tuning in, we’ll deep-see you next time!

These little oddballs are closely related to sharks and rays but often go unmentioned. They are full of intriguing quirks, from lacking a stomach to possessing a reproductive appendage on their head! We speak with Dr Brit Finucci from NIWA, a lover of deep water sharks and champion kicker of heads (she is also a competitive Muay Thai fighter) all about these fascinating fishes and why they are so interesting.

We speak with Dr Brit Finucci from NIWA, a lover of deep water sharks and champion kicker of heads (she is also a competitive Muay Thai fighter) all about these fascinating fishes and why they are so interesting.

We also speak with Leo Richards from Natural World Facts about his journey into making deep sea documentaries. If you have ever searched for deep-sea videos online, then you will have definitely come across Leo’s content, as his captivating way of sharing the deep-sea has reached millions of people.

Talking about high-quality content, The Professor has been joined offshore by a team of filmmakers, ready to capture the latest in hadal research. So expect some highly professional footage to come out in the next few weeks!

Finally, Andrew talks us through some physical features of the Chimera, including its pretty hefty defensive spine and some gnarly stories about things getting impaled.

The Professor is trapped in paradise (somewhere in Fiji) whilst he quarantines before his next big offshore expedition. But he’s not alone - alongside his new pal Roger (the guard gecko) he's quarantining with deep-sea celebrity, Jason 'J-Rod' Rodriguez. The famed SuBastian ROV pilot is joining Alan on this next leg of the expedition to the Tonga Trench. Make sure you're following us to hear all of the updates in our next episode!

Andrew is back from his travels and was just as excited about our Lake Baikal episode as us! In this month's Coffee with Andrew segment, he talks us through the unbelievable similarities between deep-ocean and the deep-lake fish of Baikal.
